Venezuela’s national airline is Aeropostal, with the company offering flights from a number of destinations around the Caribbean and the USA. Lufthansa and United Airlines offer services to the country, as do British Airways – a flight from London to Caracas through BA involves a changeover at Miami, meaning flights are likely to be quite expensive.

Flights from London to Caracas take approximately nine hours, and from New York to take around five hours. Caracas’ international airport offers taxis, coach and bus services into different areas and facilities include restaurants, banks, bureau de changes and post offices, amongst other things.
